Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The subject of cardiac affection by chronic renal failure as well as by
differem modes of renal replacement therapy, is an importam one. Cardiac
death is a principal cause of death in such patients (Ritz, 1978). Numbers
of renal failure patients are enormously increasing in our country, there IS
also a growing success rate of kidney transplantation in Egypt. This work
was introduced with the impetus to help throw more light on effects of
different modes of renal replacement therapy-commonly in use in our countryon
the heart. Inspire of the fact that heart affection in uremia was known
as early as the beginning of last century (Van-Stone, 1983), yet, many facts
are still desputable and remam unclear. Even the broad lines of cardiac
affection m uremia are still a matter of controversy; for example, uremic
cardiomyopathy is still a desputable topic and irs existance is questionable;
the role of diastolic malfunction in uremic heart dysfunction and its impliet
on symptomatology; the effect of different risk factors, which are enormous,
on the heart in uremia, ..... ere.
This work is divided into four main sections; a review of the literature,
methodology, results and a final discussion in which we correlate our results
with those in the literarure, and drive conclusions.
The review section consists of four chapters. The first and second deal
with basis of diastolic and systolic functions and malfunctions. Of course,
both subjecrs are roo wide ro be included in one, two, or more chapters.
